J = 2(M), so M<J,
Now both D and L are >J as L= J+190% and D is half of L.
Only two left, B and M;
M= (6/10)* B, so M is the least.

Given: Jane's net worth is twice as much as Mike's. Mike's net worth is 60% of Bridget's. Diane's net worth is 50% of Laura's. Laura's net worth is 190% of Jane's.
Asked: Which of these 5 people owns the least?
Let net worth of Jane(J), Mike(M), Bridget(B), Laura(L) and Diane(D) be denoted by initial letters of their names.
J=2M
M=.6B
D=.5L
L=1.9J
J:M:B:D:L= 2:1:5/3:1.9:3.8
L(3.8)>J(2)>D(1.9)>B(5/3)>M(1)
Mike owns the least (has lowest net worth)
IMO E
